Episode notes
You're dragging by 4pm. Can barely function through dinner. Then 11pm hits and suddenly your brain won't shut off.
You've tried magnesium. Cut the caffeine. Followed every sleep hygiene checklist. But no one's connected the pattern for you.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the flipped cortisol curve behind the crash-to-wired cycle — what's driving it, what it reveals about your deeper hormonal cascade, and why this pattern has to be addressed before any protocol will land.
→ What's actually happening at 4pm — and why it's not an energy problem → The 11pm cortisol spike and why melatonin won't touch it → Where the Tri-Shift Method™ begins — and why it's not with food
